So Guinness and Heineken have backed out of financial support of the NYC St. Patrick's Day parade because LGBT groups cannot openly march. NYC Mayor DeBlasio is also boycotting the event.

And farther north, Sam Adam's stopped all financial support of the Boston St. Patrick's Day parade.

It looks like the GREEN that really matters is cold hard cash, and thankfully LGBT members have (a disproportionately high amount of) it. If you can't win them with reason, or compassion, hit 'em where it hurts$$$$$
